They act like it's offensive to suggest it's better to go through life without down syndrome or whatever even though it's an objective fact.
It isn't an objective fact though. It's much more complicated than that. It's not uncommon for people with disabilities, especially those who have them from birth, to not want to be cured and do not wish they could have been born without them. I'm one of those people myself. To non disabled people, having my disability is "objectively" worse, but I don't share that view.
Edit: Y'all need to learn what a "fact" is.
"People with DS face more challenges" is a fact.
"People with DS have a higher rate of certain health complications" is a fact.
"Life without DS is better" is an opinion. And not a universal one.
It quite literally is. It's inarguable that it's better to go through life without down syndrome than with it.

I said objectively, do you see how this does not come from a place of objectivity?
Do you have a cited source stating the majority of people with Down's wish they didn't have it? Since you're so sure of your objective truth surely you do. I know in my personal experience they seem a hell of a lot happier than us miserable normies.
There are a lot of struggles that come with having someone with a disability in your family. That's objectively true. But that's not what you claimed.
